While there was a buzz that Nick proposed to Priyanka on her 36th birthday on July 18, news had followed that he got a Tiffany & Co. store in London shut down to purchase an engagement ring for his lady love.

Priyanka had been making efforts to hide the sparkler, but in the photograph that she has shared, the rock takes the limelight.

The ring is said to be a five-carat diamond with a price tag of around $300,000, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Nick arrived here with his parents on Thursday night for the roka ceremony. They were all dressed in traditional Indian wear, and Nick duly performed the rituals.

It was a Ganesh Puja, said Kamal Kumar Mishra and Pradip Kumar Trivedi, the two priests who took care of the proceedings of the 'roka' - a pre-wedding ritual among Punjabis.

The priests told the media here that Nick performed all the rituals here as per 'Sanatam Dharam', and that the couple was looking good and happy together for the occasion, which was attended by their close friends and family members.
